Ten years passed after Amanda and the Dragon King were married. Their love for each other grew stronger with every passing day. Amanda successfully managed Lord City Group on Earth, while the Dragon King faithfully ruled his kingdom in the Heavenly Palace. Although they often visited each other, they longed to live together again.
One evening, the Dragon King returned to Earth to visit Amanda. As they sat together in the garden of their mansion, he gently held her hand.
"Amanda," he said softly, "I have missed you greatly. I don't want us to keep living in two different worlds. I want you to come with me to the Heavenly Palace and live beside me as my queen."
Amanda smiled, but a look of concern appeared on her face.
"What about all our companies, properties, and wealth on Earth?" she asked. "Who will take care of everything if I leave?"
The Dragon King smiled confidently.
"Do not worry. I will appoint someone trustworthy to manage everything until we return. Our businesses will continue to grow, and nothing will be lost."
Amanda looked into his eyes and nodded.
"If that is your wish, then I will go with you."
The Dragon King smiled with happiness.
"Thank you, my queen."
The following morning, the Dragon King appointed his most trusted adviser to oversee Lord City Group and all their businesses on Earth. After giving his final instructions, he took Amanda's hand.
"It is time."
A golden light surrounded them, and within seconds they disappeared from Earth.
When Amanda opened her eyes again, she found herself standing before a magnificent golden gate that stretched high into the clouds. Beyond the gate stood a breathtaking palace unlike anything she had ever imagined.
The Heavenly Palace sparkled like countless stars. The walls were built from shining white crystal, while the roofs were covered with pure gold. Rivers of glowing water flowed peacefully through beautiful gardens filled with flowers that never faded. Birds with colorful feathers flew across the bright blue sky, and gentle clouds surrounded the palace like a blanket.
Amanda stood speechless.
"This place..." she whispered. "It's far more beautiful than Earth."
The Dragon King smiled proudly.
"Welcome to my home."
As they approached the palace entrance, rows of royal guards immediately knelt before them.
"Long live the Dragon King!"
"Long live the Dragon Queen!"
Amanda looked around in surprise.
"Did they just call me Queen?"
The Dragon King laughed gently.
"Of course. You are my wife, and from today onward, you are the Queen of the Dragon Kingdom."
Amanda smiled shyly as the guards escorted them into the palace.
Inside, the palace was even more magnificent. Every hallway was decorated with priceless jewels, while golden pillars stretched from the floor to the high ceiling. Beautiful paintings told the history of the Dragon Kingdom, and glowing crystals illuminated every room without the need for lamps.
The Dragon King personally showed Amanda every part of the palace—the royal gardens, the library of ancient magic, the grand banquet hall, the royal training grounds, and the Hall of Kings, where the portraits of past Dragon Kings were displayed.
"This palace has been the home of my family for thousands of years," he explained.
Amanda listened with amazement as she admired everything around her.
Several days later, the royal priests, ministers, generals, and elders gathered in the Grand Hall to officially welcome their new queen.
The High Priest stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"Your Majesty, on behalf of the Dragon Kingdom, we welcome Queen Amanda to the Heavenly Palace."
One after another, the royal officials introduced themselves.
The Royal Chief smiled warmly.
"We have heard many stories about your kindness, Your Majesty. We are honored to have you as our queen."
Amanda returned their greetings with humility.
"It is an honor to be here. I promise to serve this kingdom with kindness and respect."
The officials applauded her words.
That evening, a grand banquet was held throughout the palace. Music echoed through the halls as everyone celebrated the arrival of their new queen. The people laughed, danced, shared stories, and welcomed Amanda into the royal family with open hearts.
As the celebration came to an end, Amanda stood on the palace balcony beside her husband, gazing at the endless sky above the Heavenly Palace.
She smiled peacefully.
Little did she know that her journey in the Dragon Kingdom had only just begun, and that the greatest trials of her life were still waiting ahead.
